60mph speed limit proposed as gas saver
Darrell M. Trent, acting director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, proposed lowering highway speeds to 50 mph to conserve gasoline in case of a summer shortage. He warned shortages could arise from low inventories and said affected states would decide precautions. He noted cars are less efficient at high speeds and a 20 mph reduction could save 15 to 20 percent per vehicle.
